OT French Kettles

To reset it requires a visit from the electricity board or the use of a device every corner shop sells. Generally very badly and accompanied by burning smells, smoke and loud fizzling sounds.

Growing plants under fluorescent lights

For indoor growing you might do well to visit your local hydro shop.

Weekly spends on domestic requisoites

There's a Lidl and Aldi 12 miles from me, another pair 20 miles away, a local supermart 5 miles (only the odd visit from me). For years the only money-saver at all was a solitary Lidl store, but it was worthwhile doing the trip for a monthly shop.

Is this an a-pawling idea?

Visit a pro shop and notice that those pawls won't be present . Look at a riving knife equipped saw. No pawls! Heck, I've even put photos and pictures on the web to help less experienced folks learn You're looking less like someone trying to learn, and more like a troll every day.

Are Jewsons always like this?

I'm in Wickes or B&Q almost daily with an average spend of about £35 a visit. I like Wickes especially because of the type of product they stock, the fairly consistant quality & the availability.

OT: USPS tracking

In message , Andy Burns writes ISTR paying by debit card via the phone or web site. That may have been Parcelforce though, and Heaven forbid PF and RM ever use anything remotely like the same system.

Ace Hardware Stores

Home Depot is open late Saturdays and Sundays and that's when I shop. I'm not about to take a vacation day to shop Ace. :(
